* ''ComicBook/Robin1993'': Issues #144 & #145 Tim faced off against twenty-three named villains that had escaped the OMAC Project, some of whom he'd faced before and a few new ones.

* The ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' comics have done several stories that fit this trope:

** ''ComicBook/{{Knightfall}}'' not only introduced the world to Bane, but also hit us with The Mad Hatter, The Ventriloquist, Zsasz, ComicBook/TheJoker, Firefly, Poison Ivy, and The Scarecrow, to name just a ''few''. To get a bit more... exhaustive, the [=KGBeast=], Maxie Zeus, Amygdala, the Trigger Twins, Abattoir, Cornelius Stirk, the Riddler, Killer Croc... Essentially, what you're looking at is nearly all of Batman's major villains, a fair number of the more minor ones, and a bunch of new ones!
** ''Where Were You on the Night Batman was Killed?'' where several members of Batman's rogues gallery (ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}, Comicbook/TheRiddler, Comicbook/TheJoker and, inexplicably, ComicBook/LexLuthor) claim to have murdered Batman and place themselves on 'trial' before a jury of their peers (The Mad Hatter, Comicbook/PoisonIvy, Comicbook/TheScarecrow, Comicbook/MrFreeze, the Spook and Signalman) with Comicbook/TwoFace as the prosecutor and Comicbook/RasAlGhul as the judge. Most of the rest of the rogues gallery shows up to watch.
** And between that one and Comicbook/{{Bane}}'s debut, ''Detective Comics'' #526 had new threat Killer Croc clash with not only Batman but also a rival group of villains including Clayface II, Mister Freeze, Black Spider, the Penguin, Catman, the Cavalier, the Riddler, the Scarecrow, Signalman, the Spook, the Getaway Genius, the Mad Hatter, Two-Face, Captain Stingaree and Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Oh, and of course [[spoiler: the Joker is there to play both sides against each other for laughs.]]

* In ''ComicBook/Robin1993'' issues 144 & 145 Tim faced off against twenty-three named villains that had escaped the OMAC Project, some of whom he'd faced before and a few new ones.

* ''ComicBook/TheFlash'': The storyline "Rogue War" featured a LegionOfDoom plot with two groups of Flash's Rogues coming together to fight each other, but also involved numerous other, unaligned Flash villains either taking advantage of the chaos or fighting both sides.
** The idea of the Rogues Gallery teaming up ''en masse'' actually started out this way in the [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] series; the first time more than two of them teamed up was in a one-off story that had them all manipulated into doing so by another baddie, Gorilla Grodd.
* A whole slew of pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}} ComicBook/{{Batman}} villains turn up to fight Thomas Wayne in ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'' #3, including Professor Pyg, Man-Bat, Dr Hurt, Una Nemo, Mr. Zsasz, [[spoiler:the Joker]].
* The "Grand Guignol" storyline functions as one for the Jack Knight incarnation of ''ComicBook/{{Starman}}'', bringing together Nash/The Mist II, Dr. Phosphorus, Crusher from the Bliss Carnival, the Bodines (from a "Times Past" story), plus [[spoiler: the rejuvenated Rag Doll, the mysterious Culp]], and, in flashbacks, the minor villains Pip and the Prairie Witch. [[spoiler: And to top it all off, the original Mist turns up alive, and Neron is the GreaterScopeVillain]].
* This was the high concept of the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour: Foes'' miniseries, as well as the earlier "World's Greatest Comics Magazine" miniseries.
* ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'': This is how the 1990s ''Power of Shazam'' series handled the then-Captain Marvel's LegionOfDoom, the Monster Society of Evil; rather than teaming up, it was a number of unconnected villains all being manipulated separately by [[spoiler: Mr. Mind]].
* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'': The 200th issue CrisisCrossover storyline in the mid-1980s has most of the book's recurring villains pressed into service by Guy Gardner as part of an EnemyMine attack on the Anti-Monitor, but ComicBook/{{Sinestro}} is also there to pursue his own agenda.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWomanCharlesMoulton'': In "Battle Against Revenge" Bedwin Footh looks through a filing cabinet full of Wonder Woman villains, before selecting seven to ally with. It later turns out that his allies are actually actor friends disguised as the villains, but the role call of some of her most dangerous foes at the time still starts out the story and even she is tricked for a while.

** The sequel, ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', is truly a gift for the Rogue-loving fans of Batman. The main story features the Joker, Harley, Two-Face, Hugo Strange, [[spoiler:Ra's Al Ghul, Comicbook/TaliaAlGhul]], Catwoman, Solomon Grundy, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, and [[spoiler:Clayface]]. Bane, The Riddler, Hush, The Mad Hatter, Zsasz, and Deadshot are featured in side missions. Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Black Mask, Azrael, and Calendar Man show up in [[TheCameo cameos]] or otherwise short appearances. Most of the others are at least referenced, either via mook dialogues and {{Easter Egg}}s (like Scarecrow) or trophies (like Scarface).

** There is a story in ''Spider-Man's Tangled Web'' where a bunch of villains are talking about how each of them almost got Spider-Man. Then one of them throws off his hat, reveals his hairdo, and says "[[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied I threw his girlfriend off a bridge!]]"...
** The ''Origin of the Species'' arc featured a whole bunch of Spidey's foes, old and new, hired by Doctor Octopus to kidnap Menace's child.
** Creator/MarkMillar featured one in his run on ''Marvel Knights Spider-Man'', culminating in ''The Last Stand'' where the Green Goblin assembles The Sinister ''Twelve''.

This trope deals with individual stories from a series/franchise that feature several members of the property's RoguesGallery. These tales don't necessarily involve VillainTeamUp or LegionOfDoom, which are obviously [[SubTrope SubTropes]]; they just involve adventures in which a ''lot'' of villains appear, whether they're working together or not. Writers sometimes refer to these stories as "gang bangs".
